The house declined behind schedule Wednesday to punish his own comment after Charlie Kirk’s assassination attempt on a comment, but the efforts of President Donald Trump’s advance showed political retribution and took the stage to consider others.
The 214-213 Roll Call has covered a resolution of GOP Rep. Nancy Mace from South Carolina to claw democratic Minor Ilhan Omar from Minnesota and remove them from two house committees: education and workforce and budget. The two were malicious on social media.
Mace said, Omar, an immigrant who criticized Kirk’s views of gun ownership and racial relationships after George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis in 2020 should be deported to Somalia. Omar was born in Somalia and became a US citizen in 2000.
Omar said that Mace is driving a false story to collect money and promote her run for the governor.
“Is the courtesy in the Republican -controlled House of Representatives?” Fleher democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“We live in an era of intensive political violence, as we saw with the youngest attacks by spokesman Melissa Hortman and the founder of the USA, Charlie Kirk,” he said, referring to the shootout of legislators in Minnesota.
The legacy of Kirk’s personal and political influence is far and deep on the Capitol Hill – House Speaker Mike Johnson, to which the teenage conservative leader viewed as a friend – and since Kirk was murdered, he was reminded in a enormous and diminutive way.
A vigil in candlelight took place behind schedule Monday evening in the Capitol statue hall, and it is expected to be approved quickly in his honor. A legislator, MP Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla, which she wrote that she owes “my entire political career Charlie Kirk”, tries to place a statue of Kirk in the capitol “in honor of his legacy”.
At the same time, the Republicans unleashed a number of legislative proposals that Trump’s demand for action against what he calls “radical left” – those who question his views and those of the murdered conservative leader.
Rep. Chip Roy from Texas to set up a selected committee to “complete the coordinated network of leftists that attack us”.
GOP-Senator Ted Cruz from Texas has promoted his legislative template to include the list of criminal offenses in the context of blackmail laws, and Gop Senator Mike Lee von Utah wants the congress to revive a law from the Cold War that “prevents the US government from getting involved in a domestic, political propaganda”. He calls it the Charlie Kirk Act.
The GOP MP Buddy Carter from Georgia offered another resolution that concentrated on the instigation of Omar, while Mace also suggested the financing of the educational department of schools who do not act against employees who encourage or glorify the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Many of those who present the proposals, including Roy, Carter and Mace, run in their states for a higher position and show how crucial it is to carry Trump’s message on their broader base of voters and supporters.
“According to Charlie Kirk’s assassination attempt, the political decision -makers have to do everything to stop radical violence,” wrote the political arm of the Heritage Foundation, Heritage Action to support Roys proposal for a fresh committee, to “deal with the forces behind the radical attack on America behind the radical left attack”.
It is not the first time that the congress against Omar or other legislators has taken measures.
In 2023, Omar was equipped with the committee for foreign affairs of the house, and the last congress set a fresh standard for the time -out of reviews and punishments.
This time, when Mace offered her determination to go to Omar, the democratic MP Greg Casar from Texas gave a quick reaction: a consideration to refer the Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida with a censorship against allegations in which his personal and professional behavior was involved.
Mills was one of the four Republicans to take the Democrats with them to reject the decision against Omar.
In recent times, the house seems to frosty these efforts. The legislator rejected a decision on the criticism of Rep. Lamonica Mciver, Dn.J., and removed it from a committee order, while it has exposed itself to a visit to a visit to an immigration finding facility.
